Definition: Architecture has many attractions for the new photographer.  Buildings don't usually move much, are generally fairly easy to find, and will seldom complain when you try to take a picture (or at the results).  However, it's main attraction has to be an interest in the built environment.  We all live in buildings and we see them every day.

Despite this, buildings are difficult to photograph well, presenting a number of challenges that make life interesting for the photographer.  It is often very hard to produce exciting images that make your work stand out from other people.
